I wholeheartedly recommend the acting course; it is truly exceptional and tremendously beneficial. Rick, the instructor, is not only amazing but also highly professional. His expertise and teaching style significantly enhance the overall learning experience.

The 5-day intensive musical theatre foundation was fantastic. Such supportive and talented teachers who really care about what they do. Be prepared to work hard for a week, but the pay-off at the end was wonderful as we put on a showcase for family and friends. I met lovely people along the way and will definitely continue!
Kap Varma
Great experience the teacher was knowledgeable and a relaxed delivery. He mixed the teaching with discussion, in studio hands on camera activity and external in park camera activity. The venue was the right size for 2:1 session and equipment used ie screen for presentation was good and clear

I recently completed the Accent Softening for Business course, and I am eager to provide a stellar review. My tutor, James Aitken, exceeded my expectations in every aspect. His respect for the diverse backgrounds of the students was evident throughout the course. James consistently provided individualised feedback, and the accent improvement exercises were precisely what I had hoped for. I am thoroughly impressed with the course content. In just six weeks, I have noticed a significant transformation in my accent—improved pronunciation, better intonation, and enhanced stress. While I wish the course could be longer, given the complexity of the process, the noticeable difference in my confidence during work meetings and public speaking after this short period is remarkable. The positive impact on my communication is evident, and people now understand me more clearly. James has been an outstanding instructor, displaying patience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to his students. I genuinely hope that City Academy considers extending this course to a second level to allow individuals like me to continue progressing. City Academy, thank you for providing such an enriching learning experience!

I wasn't sure just how 'beginner' the Comedy Acting Intro would be as I'm new to acting/performance. It was fantastic! I never once felt out of place for trying something new. Miranda is a wonderful, encouraging tutor and she held such a supportive space. I'd happily attend more workshops and classes if I lived closer.
